… as well GFX-, SFX- and speed-wise on the C64?

Not even remotely. The Vectrex has a 6809 so it can do hardware multiplies. But that Doom port is using a Raspberry Pi as the computer and the Vectrex just as a display. My Quake port draws about 30 lines at 5fps, not full screen.

I see. So in order to have something speedy and be able to recognize opponents it would be necessary to do things in PETSCII instead, just like Escape from PETSCII Planet?

I wouldn't say necessary - but that would be one way to do it, sure.
